SEMI-FINAL TOPICS I.

Review - CNS: - PNS: - ANS: of Nervous System brain and spinal cord cranial/ spinal nerves sympathetic/ parasympathetic

II. Diagnostic Exams (determine requirements needed for these exams and procedur e done) - CT Scan - MRI - PET scan - SPECT - Cerebral Angiography - Myelography - Brain scan - Magnetic Source Imaging - Cerebral blood flow studies - Transcranial Doppler Studies - Intracarotid Amobarbital Procedure - Electroencephalography - Neuropsychological Testing - Lumbar Puncture and Examination of the CSF * III. Increased Intracranial Pressure (IICP) IV. Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) - Thrombosis - Embolism - Ischemia - Hemorrhage - (Rupture of) Aneurysm V. Other Diseases A. Peripheral and Spinal Cord Disorder 1. Cranial Nerve Disorders - Trigeminal Neuralgia (Tic Douloureux) - Bell's Palsy (Facial Paralysis) 2. Peripheral Nervous System - Guillain-Barre Syndrome B. Neuro Disorders - Headache - Multiple Sclerosis - Huntington's Disease - Alzheimer's Disease - Parkinson's Disease C. Neuromusculuar Disorders - Myasthenia Gravis - Amyolotropic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease) - Epilepsy [take note of the drugs for this disease] D. Congenital Anomalies - Hydrocephalus - Neural defects

E. Inflammatory Disturbance - Encephalitis - Meningitis - Poliomyelitis - Brain Abscess F. Eye Disorders - Glaucoma - Cataracts - Retinal detachment - Refractive Disorders - Myopia, Hyperopia, Astigmatism G. Ear Disorders - Ruptured Tympanic Membrane - Otitis Media - Tympanosclerosis - Otosclerosis - Mastoiditis - Meniere's Disease (Balance Disorder) H. Musculoskeletal Disorders - Strains - Sprains - Osteoporosis - Osteopenia - Paget's Disease - Osteomalacia (Adults) - Rickets (Osteomalacia in children) - Osteoarthritis: Rheumatoid Arthritis, Gout - Scoliosis - Osteomyelitis - Congenital Dislocation of the Hip - Talipes (clubfoot) - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Duchenne's Syndrome (Muscular Dystrophy) * GBS (MOST OFTEN affects myelin sheath but may also affect other parts of nerve s) vs MS (affects only the myelin sheath) * ALS (nerve cells can no longer SEND messages to muscles) vs MG (muscles are bl ocked from RECEIVING messages from the nerve cell) * HD (caused by GENETIC DEFECT on chromosome #4) and PD (cause UNKNOWN)
